Hi, I've been using Steam on Linux for a few months now and had no problems with any games on it except the Sims 4. Every now and again, the game will just decide not to load - I click the green play button which then turns to stop and then eventually back to play without actually loading.

The resolution each time has been to uninstall/ re-install the game via Steam but I'd like to understand what the actual issue is and try to resolve it.

How would I go about troubleshooting this? I have looked around in ~/.steam but can't see any log files so not sure where I would start? I don't see any error messages on the screen in Steam when the issue occurs

Hello guys,

I recently changed my laptop from gtx 1050 to a radeon 780m, and I took the same SSD in my new laptop.
I use fedora 43 with kernel 6.17.9 (worked fine on the old laptop)
Everything seems to work well so far but when I tried to play World of Tanks, I noticed the UI is half missing and broken (but I can launch and play a game fine).
I reinstalled the game, changed proton version (GE and steam) but nothing seems to solve it.

Thank you!

I've recently set up a dual boot situation and have been using Linux Mint Cinnamon and absolutely loving it, haven't booted into windows once in the past few days since getting everything set up and working reliably. Linux has legit made computing fun and rewarding again. This is my second computer mostly used for gaming and I'm like 2 steps from just wiping windows off the hard drive and making this a dedicated Linux machine for gaming.

I've only tested a few games so far but have had little to no trouble getting them working using ProtonDB as reference, except System Shock 2 Remaster. It's rated platinum and every report on protonDB said it should just work but no matter what I try it just won't boot, flashes onto the screen really quick then crashes immediately.

If anyone can help me get this working I'd be in your debt, this is no contest my favourite game I've played in the last 5ish years, aside from System Shock remake which is working beautifully.

Things I have tried:
-All Proton versions in compatibility settings

-any launch option commands I could find on ProtonDB

Specs:
Distro: Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2

Ram: 16GB

Kernel: 6.14.0-36

CPU: i7-12700H

GPU: 3070ti (Laptop)

GPU Driver: NVIDIA 535.274.02

Sometimes when I play games (with native builds) on linux, like silksong, portal or whatever, the game sometimes has some issues, like for example when you ride the bell beast in silksong, it plays it in slow motion but in proton it works perfectly fine and in portal 2 I had this weird ui glitch where all the buttons graphically were on the correct spot but the location where you had to click was somewhere else and also the game thought I had a 4k monitor even though mine is 1080P.

So does someone know why?

I use Fifine H9 headphones, and in Windows I've always used Steelsiries Sonar for spatial sound, but I miss it in Linux. Is there a way to get Steelsiries Sonar to work in Linux? I've tried alternatives to EasyEffect, even with spatial sound settings, but they're nowhere near the same as Steelsiries Sonar. And yes, I know there's a way with a Windows VM, but the problem is that my headphones don't remember my hardware settings, so I don't think that will work for me.

I've always used Windows but this 11 is horrible, I tried to migrate to Linux Mint as they say it's good for beginners but there's a part of the installation that freezes, can anyone recommend another distro that's good for beginners?

Linux noob here, my buddy claims that Nobara simply doesn't come with a desktop. I googled it and to me it sounds like Nobara is in fact supposed to have a Desktop, called Gnome. How do I turn that desktop on though? In case I am wrong, and Nobara really does not come with a desktop, how do I install one and which one do you recommend?

Games like Deep Rock Galactic, Insurgency Sandstorm, and a whole of others.

I know for sure I couldnt install those in Steam.

I didnt check out the linux steam scene for a few months now.

What has changed?

Hello everyone, I have a rog gaming laptop with both amd cpu and dgpu (RX6800M)

I've been thinking switching to linux but I'm thinking if there's additional step involved to optimizing it? I'm a noob in linux so I'm afraid I won't understand complex stuff regardless I still want to try it.

One of the main thing I'm concerned about is if the smartshift technology works flawlessly in linux? and also if is there any control center i could use for undervolting and fan control. In windows i use G-Helper.

The linux distro I'm considering is bazzite so if anyone has any experience I would gladly appreciate the help!
